Abstract

A variety of sensors are available nowadays for fine grain continuous monitoring of our environments in many desired ways. Comprehension of streams of data from deployed sensors in a meaningful way is critical to usability of the sensors. One such comprehension is context and situation which may affect our actions and decisions. Context is deduced from the sensor data using probabilistic methods like maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian probabilities. Possible situations are abstracted using deduced contexts. Event trees, template and rule based methods have been used for deriving situations from contexts. Lattices are constructed using formal concept analysis methods for representation and recognition of situations. When the context information is either noisy or incomplete, set of Implication and Association Rules are derived from the lattice and used for situation recognition. For illustration, Situation of an elderly person living alone in a house, deployed with various sensors is recognized using the above technique.
